White primer is for use as a primer for lighter colors and the grey is best used as and undercoat for darker colors(blacks, dark blues, dark green etc..). A darker top color requires more coats with lighter color primer.

Well it's better than nothing, but quite possibly not as thick or well covering as primer is. If your wall is already white or even a pale colour, it won't make a lot of difference. If the wall is new drywall, or a dark colour you shouldn't use this.

Can you use a grey primer then paint white?

Besides a few shades of black, white primer will reflect more light back than a gray primer under a paint color that doesn't cover well. Gray is often used under dark reds which would normally require several coats of paint to cover, The lighi that would normally be reflected from a white primer underneath the paint is, instead, absorbed by the gray primer, giving the illusion of an opaque surface. White primer is used under any light paint that covers well. It can also be tinted to the color of many off white or pastel wall colors to help ensure coverage using fewer coats.
